What if we all had only one day to live? Like Mayflies!

Image
  What if we all had only one day to live? Like Mayflies! Mayflies have the shortest lifespan on Earth. Their life lasts only for 24 hours. Mayflies also called as ‘one-day insects’ because of their shortest life span. What if we all had only one day to live? What if we consider every day is the last day? Would we do things differently? We are all professionals at making excuses. If it was up to us, we would do everything "tomorrow”. But do you know what they say about tomorrow? It never really comes. These excuses are just to put off things that are important for both our happiness and future. The thing you are definitely not willing to do in the future is to regret the past. Especially if these regrets are regarding missed opportunities and wasted time. It is the time to set ourselves more deadlines! Having no deadlines would mean hardly anything would get done. When you have infinite time to complete a ta...

Die Another Day

Image
    Die Another Day Failure is the most important step to reaching success, but it can still feel like it's crushing your soul. Sometimes failure is going to occur, but in that path and in those moments of when things could not go any worse, are you handling yourself, your communication and your professionalism in the best way possible? It’s a challenge, but it’s a requirement for future endeavors. Overcoming failure is all about finding it in yourself to start again.

It relies on whether you have the courage to get up and get going and make your failure just a stepping stone on your journey to success. Start again   Now that you have failed, you have two choices – you can leave it a...

      VAT on SMEs: In small doses Sandhya D'Mello /dubai   Filed on April 3, 2017 VAT will be introduced in the UAE in two phases. In phase one, companies with recorded revenue of more than Dh3.75 million are obliged to register for VAT. Also during phase one, companies with revenue between Dh1.87 million and Dh3.75 million will have the option to register for VAT. In phase two, all companies will have to register for VAT, however the date is still under discussion. This may indicate the manner in which other GCC countries will phase in VAT.

Are you in love!?

Image
             Are you in love? with your job Love is one of the most profound emotions we experience as   humans. It’s bigger than us, meaning, though we can invite it   into our lives.   Love is a passionate commitment that we constantly work to   develop and nurture.   Passion and purpose-in short, doing what you love can be    difficult to find and most jobs are absolutely not even lovable  in the first place. But to say that plenty of jobs deserve no   affection and any they get is something magical emanating   from within the person by no act of the company. How do you know if you’re in  love with your job?   - You talk about what you do.   - Everything reminds you with your job.   - You care about what your company cares about. - You're working harder to get along with all the tea...

Many people use the words “client” and “customer” interchangeably; they say there is not much difference between them. The differe nce between them can at first seem quite confusing. However, the difference can best be seen in terms of an ongoing business relationship .   Differences Between Customer and Client. Customer : A person who purchases goods and services, from the company is known as the Customer. Client: A person who  refers to someone who seeks professional services from the company. Customers are what we get when we take a persons money and do nothing to create a connection with them and not worry about ever getting them to spend their money again with us sometime in the fut...
